Reduced stretch= more sensitivity so I agree with that.

I have been very very disappointed with abrasion resistance, I think flouro and mono are way better for that. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it

The added strength is WHY I'm using it right now. Been doing a lot of sauger fishing on the Ohio, tons of snags and 20 to 30 lb braid lets me straighten lots of hooks that would be break offs with 8 to 10 pound mono.

And when I have to break it off, with spinning gear, I grab the reel spool with my hand and pull steadily until the hook straightens or the line breaks.
